8TB/10TB drives - quiet seek
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2019 2:15 am
Dear all,
I have bought Toshiba MG05ACA800E drives. Well, these drives are cheap, solid, fast and have long warranty - but they are incredible loud while seeking. I have my HP Microserver G8 in a wardrobe near our bed (in a studio/1 room flat) and it is just not OK.
I am looking for another drives. I used to have WD RED 3TB (WD30EFRX) - these were absolutely OK, quiet seek, but I need larger. How about new WD REDs or Seagate IronWolf, both 8 or 10 TB capacity? Anyone has an experience with these drives?
Thank you & best regards,
Jan
